Scots are being urged to get their Christmas cards and parcels sent off early this year, with the first national deadline falling on Monday December 12 amid ongoing strike action.
This first deadline is for more cost-effective 2nd class deliveries, which was recently pushed back from its original date of December 19. The deadline for more expensive 1st class stamps will be just five days later, on December 16.
The Royal Mail are asking people to get their letters in early this year, to ensure that they arrive in time for Christmas. Unfortunately for those posting abroad, the deadline for economy packages has now passed.
